N.J. Junk Mail Ban Would Cost 'Tens of Thousands' of Jobs, Direct Mailers Claim

Printers and direct mailers in New Jersey and across the Tri-State region have united in opposition to a bill that would create a "do not mail" list in the Garden State.

The bill, sponsored by state assemblyman Bob Andrzejczak, would create an opt-out similar to the "do not call" list established in New Jersey in 2004.

But the measure could cost tens of thousands of jobs and hurt the economy in a huge ripple effect, said organizations representing printers, direct mailers and graphic artists—all of whom are planning to lobby against the bill.
